Setsuna

I haven't played the matchup enough myself so I can't make any indepth summary on it yet but the only overhead to lookout for in strings is the universal overhead AoA besides that 2D (1D/3D?) is the only overhead according to the Wiki (unless I missed something). As far as the match up goes itself Yukiko can stuff out our approaches with fans and once hit she can apply pressure with her Persona and put us back to a near full screen distance between us. We can use the projectile invul properties of 236A+B to force our way in if she throws out 5Bs or Maragi, I think ... don't quote me on that yet lol. Up close our 5A has 7f startup while Yukikos has 10f, both our 2As have 7f startup as well. Thats as much as I'll input for now I don't want to give false strats without fighting more good Yukikos.

Hes practicing in Persona 4 Arena from what I can tell, I don't think he cared so much in BB because of the lack of players ... he put more focus in Marvel.

<3 you Based DC

I wasn't aware you had a girl lol I can't argue with that logic, just about all of the best players in the state can't make it out to every event from what I can tell (which is mainly SoFL, Tampa and some hidden talent in Jax that can't ever make it out due to their jobs). You shit talk/troll/joke so often its hard for me to tell apart which comments are serious and which are not so sorry if I can misunderstand somethings you say :x About the same but I don't even count most of them since they're Blazblue tournaments which barely even hit 10 entrants and in those tournaments I usually get at least 3rd or 4th behind Thaitanium, Romey or Locate (or local Arakune/Teddie player).

I burn the Axe if I can get the kill during that round or so I can get the most damage out of it before they hit awakening. In most matches I play against better players I don't end up having Red Axe at the end anyway and I'm fighting to just keep it at yellow so I don't see the harm in burning it now and work on refilling it quickly to green/yellow from there.

I'm not surprised considering you were grinding on underage girls I don't wanna hear that from a Titsuru player lolol Admittedly she is pretty damn braindead but when you face someone who actually knows what theyre doing (obviously like 80% of people currently playing don't) the match ups get pretty hard for her. IMO Gentleman Thief had a solid basic Lab, he knew his strings and his Tsurugi oki setups and different followups after the Tsurugi, he did air turn backdash j.A overheads (I don't think me or Guardian did that, then again I didn't get to watch his Lab as much as you did). He lacked match up experience in my eyes which is why he got overwhelmed against Akihiko like I did and it was probably the same case when he was playing Mystics Yu. We need tournament placings to be good ? Hold on wheres your Tournament Placing award

Does he have a PSN/XBL I would definately like to play him more. Labrys was a pretty good start and whether people believe it or not you do have to work to win when your opponent isn't an idiot, he did a damn good job and was definitely solid ... I would hate to see him change but its whatever, I need a alternative character myself lol

Yo man me and Kurushii will have Gundam EXVS with us for afternight casuals can't wait to play with you again in anime fighters as well ~

I admit I planned on playing Labrys AND Aigis but those plans haven't feel threw primarily because I want to be content with my Labrys first before I move on to the next character ... also Im in a sub character crisis. I didn't express it openly but I definitely didn't expect players new to the anime community (or who weren't originally players before) to come in and start winning so easily either. The top players might as well have been predetermined the only surprise to me was the VF5 Labrys player and Mike Lorenzo with his Mitsuru (I can't comment on it specifically because I dont know Mitsuru but he was highly praised I believe) FYI Dawn is a lesbian and has a girlfriend

You don't need to pack that heavily sistah, make other bitches do work too plus I'm sure people will be bringing setups for Persona since people are actually playing it unlike BB last time lol. You're bringing 2 Aquapazza ? Well if I get mine before I leave I'll be bringing mine as well. As far as setups go I'll be bringing my stuff now that I have my own monitor, ZeroShift doesnt live too far from the venue so IF needed he can run back to get us if he doesnt decide to bring it prior. Romey brought a setup last time so thats 4 at least guaranteed and thats assuming anyone else doesn't bring their own setups for Persona. Tyger the TO will have extra monitors for us as well come tournament time so overall I think were good, more concerned about making sure the notable players from SoFL and Tampa show up again. Tampa Never Sleeps was filled with fraudulence ... my Labrys may be kind of derp but damn I saw people literally mashing out DPs and full screen supers and some of these people were advancing long in there pools ? Yeah we can't have that lol

Shoutouts to everyone who showed up, 64 entrants wtf (getthefuckoutofherecapcom). Congrats to Top 3 Juggernaut, Mystic and Gentlemen Theif and a special thanks to Juggernaut for letting me know after our match what I did wrong with the Akihiko matchup (unlike fucking DC telling bitches to block when he grabs all the fucking time lol), it was much appreciated hopefully I can apply it properly for next time. Storm FUSION is the next event in Florida for Persona 4 Arena, Team Tournament on Saturday and Singles on Sunday ... and it will be on PS3 unlike Tampa whos exclusively 360 for everything. If you guys can make it make that please do.

Serph from MM was talking to me about doing a thread about Tsurugi Oki setups, it isn't done yet but heres what he was able to get done so far.

To my knowledge none at all.

Whats everyone method of approach on getting in on Teddie players, thats probably my only real issue I have against him right now since he can zone us out with various item drops, his extremely long range 5B and his 2B stuffing out any derp j.B approaches.

The Yus I fight don't just throw it out there, if they can get a hit confirm with 5B they do just a simple 5B > 2B > 2A+B > 5D or even catch me with 2A pokes into it and immediately go into Oki. I feel as if my knowledge of Yu is lacking where my experimenting might not give me the best results but I'll try what I can based on the video I linked above.

To my knowledge yeah, this particular player loved to converse his meter too so I would fall for Raging A OMC into low almost everytime. He would also end all his combos/confirms into knockdowns so I'm always going to eat that oki from the smallest tap. I ended up using guard cancels and bursts to get out but I can't just depend on those.

What do you guys do against Yus 5D oki pressure strings, I haven't fought at Yus online who have completely mastered the full string yet but facing the OG Guilty Gear player in my area I was completely overwhelmed by his flawless succession of it. I wasn't able to roll or even attempt DP and I could do was block. I'm pretty sure I can condition myself to block the high lows in time but what bugged me was when it would sometimes roll through me and have Izanagi catch me with the follow up attack of 5D. For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIwQPRTzY3c

We should probably add this somewhere in the Wiki

The Mortal Blow section is only there because it was uniform with all the combo threads at the time. Deleting it now.

Finally decided to go in the lab and test this and wow thats pretty surprising. For now instead of 5B charged > 236B we can do 2B > air stuff as an alternative ... its something to at least capitalize off the hit for now.

Mechmainiac ~ Haven't seen you in soo long. I'm glad P4U is bringing you back in my life

I'm glad I'll be able to play the same game as you again lol, I'll see you at TNS. If you havent joined the FB group linked on the first place I hope you decide on doing so, most if not all florida events are updated there :x

I fixed the notations in the actual combo thread, I dont think there were any errors in the wiki. I also fixed the layoutso Level 1/2/3 is just one section. If you guys wanna submit your combos for building axe meter go ahead and I'll see that they get added in (I'll put in the most viable ones).

Every community needs a DC to introduce there players

Sorry I havent spoken much or updated combo threads guys, Ive been trying to test things myself when I can and just get used to the game more. I'm still tore about the combo thread layout, do you guys think we should just have recommended axe building combos for Gray - Green or have ideas to condense it a bit. Also looking at the combo video by Maki there was a setup for Brutal Impact, what do you guys think of it ?
